WILLIAM W"--GLEQKNER, or CANTON, PENNSYLVANIA? CHECK-LOOP.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, WILLIAM W. GLEoK- NER, a citlzen of the United States, residing at Canton, in the county of Bradford and State of Pennsylvania, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Check- Loops; and I do declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and I use the same.

My invention relates to improvements check-loops and 1t consists in the novel construction, combination, and arrangement of 5 parts hereinafter describedandclaimed.

The ob ect of the invention is to provide a device of this character which will be of sim:

ple, durable, and com aratively inexpensive constructlon and wel adapted forthe purposemtended. L

I The aboveand'l other objects, which'wfll appear? as the nature of the, invention is better understood, are acoomplished'bymeans 1 Y ofthe construction illustrated in the accompanying drawings ,,1I 1. which Flgure 1 is a view showing the application of my improved check-loopto an ,overdrawe check. fF1g.2 is a perspective .viewyof the the ring or eye injsaid openings 6 strip has been device, on an enlarged scalel Figs?) and? 4 arerespectively longitudinal and transverse I sectional fviews through the same! Fig. 5 is .a planview ofthe stripof leather-or similar material from which the loop is made, i Fig. 6 is aperspective view of aslightly modiand fled" form of the invention.

The latter consists of an eye 4 and a loop 5 of leather or other suitable material. 7 The eye .4 may be in the form ofia metal ring, as

shown, in the form of a D, or of any. other. suitable form and construction} The loop- 5 consists of a strip of leather or flexible material which is formed adjacent to its ends with o enings 6 and which is slitted longitudinal y, as at 7, betweensaid openings or apertures, as clearly shown in Fig. 5 ofthe drawings. The openings or apertures 6 are provided to receive the rlng or eye 4, and the slit 7 is provided to permit of the insertion of after the bent upon itself to form the loop. The ring'oreye is adapted to be retained in the openings 6 by means of a band Specificationof Letters Patent. Application filed February 1,1906. Serial No. 299,040.

the hook 2 I In Fig. 6 of thedrawings the eye 4 is the form of 'a'D, the straight portion of which is which is adapted to formed by a screw 10,-

that it moves with the, overdraw, while the loop is stationaryupon pass through the apertures or openings 6 m the ends of the loop 5. -When a D having a screw,rivet, orthe like 8 of this form is employed, it will be seen that it'willbe unneces saryto slit the loop, as at band 81 will alsobe unnecessary.

From the foregoing" description, taken. in connection'with the accompanying drawings,

the construction, operation," and advantages v ofthe inventione'will be'readily understood extendederqilana without requiring a more tion.

comprising an. eye, strip offlexible material slit longitudinally between apertures in its ends to permit of the insertion of said eye in said apertures, substantially as described.

' 2. A device of the character described, comprising an eye, a loop formed by a strip of flexible material slit longitudinally between apertures in its ends to permit of the the, inventiQnas defined by blleapp'ended. claims.

' Having thus describedmy invention, :what 9 2 I 11A, device of the character described, and a. loop formed-by a ioc insertion ofsaid eye insaidapertu'resand means for retaining said eye in said apertures. '3. A device of the character described,

comprising an eye, a loop formed by a strip of flexible material slit longitudinally between apertures in its ends tOp rmit of the insertion of said eye in said apertures, and a band surrounding said loop for retaining said eye in said a ertures. 3

4. A chec loop comprising a ring and a loop of leather formed with apertures adja- I a longitudinal'slit between said apertures to permit of the insertion of said ring into said 5- apertures, and a band surrounding said 100p to retain said ring in said apertures, substantially as shown and described.

In testimony whereof I have hereunto set cent to its ends to reeelve sald rlng and with I my hand in p IIGSSGS resence of two subscribing wit- WILLIAM W. GLECKNER.
